Support Carnation and join the Turkey Trot! Gather your flock and join the First Annual Carnation Turkey Trot at the beautiful Remlinger Farms. Join fellow runners, joggers and walkers in some lighthearted fun while supporting the Carnation Chamber’s mission of supporting the businesses of Carnation, and strengthening the community!

The 5k course will take you all along the country roads and paths on the farm. No cars will be on the course. The kids’ dash is about 100 yards and will be held right before the 5k so everyone can be there to cheer on the little Gobblers!

See you on Saturday November 18th! (before Turkey Day)

We are so excited to see the demo starting on the playground! CE families have been working toward new playground equipment for years and Phase 1 is coming to fruition this week!

Stay tuned for the “after” photos!

We had a great time meeting so many families last week at Curriculum Night! Thank you again so much. We have a low key option for volunteering this year as classroom liaison between parents and PTSA, and still have several slots available! Please consider grabbing a slot for your child’s classroom, the following list is the teachers who do not yet have a liaison, so please email us at ceptsa@outlook.com if you’re interested.
